'''Eric David Harris''' (April 9, 1981 - April 20, 1999) was an American high school senior who, along side [[Dylan Klebold]], commited the Columbine High School massacre. The pair killed 13 people and injured 24 others. The two proceeded to commit suicide in the library at 12:08PM, where they had killed 10 of their victims. The attack was the deadliest ever perpetrated against an American high school.

In April 2009, Professor Aubrey Immelman, Ph.D of the College of Saint Benedict and Saint John's University, published a book, Columbine: A True Crime Story; A Victim, the Killers and the Nation’s Search for Answers, which includes a personality profile of Eric Harris, based on journal entries and personal communication. Immelman's profile believes the materials suggested behavior patterns consistent with a "... pathological [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Narcissistic_personality_disorder narcissistic personality disorder] with [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antisocial_personality_disorder antisocial] and [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Borderline_personality_disorder borderline ]features, along with some paranoid traits, and unconstrained aggression". The report notes that such a profile should not be construed as a direct psychiatric diagnosis, which is based on face-to-face interviews, formal psychological testing, and collection of collateral information.

Hare says, "Unlike psychotic individuals, psychopaths are rational and aware of what they are doing and why. Their behavior is the result of choice, freely exercised." In analyzing the pages of enraged writings in Harris' journals, Hare concludes the writings are not an expression of anger stemming from being ostracized or bullied, but are indicative of a deep superiority complex that seeks to punish the entire human race for its inferiority. Says Hare, "It's more about demeaning other people." According to Supervisory Special Agent Dwayne Fuselier, the FBI's lead Columbine investigator and a clinical psychologist, Harris exhibited a pattern of grandiosity, contempt, and lack of empathy or remorse, distinctive traits of psychopaths that Harris concealed through deception. Fuselier adds that Harris engaged in mendacity not merely to protect himself, as Harris rationalized in his journal, but also for pleasure, as seen when Harris expressed his thoughts in his journal regarding how he and Klebold avoided prosecution for breaking into a van.
